Darzi grilled over finances

24th July 2008

Health minister Lord Darzi was grilled by a committee of MPs about whether his plan for the future of the NHS made practical financial sense.

Speaking to the health select committee in the week beginning 14 July, Lord Darzi said future plans included in his review would be financed by the £110bn NHS budget. "It is costed within the system... some proposals in the enabling report are also costed as part of that package," he said.
